Ingredients: Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha (17 servings) Grown in some of the purest soil on earth in Kagoshima Japan, this ceremonial grade matcha is picked from the first harvest. Only the most previous, tender leaves are chosen from the top of the green tea plant. The first tea harvest in the year (also known as first flush tea) is usually the best quality. This is because the tea plants are full of vital compounds stored over the course of winter. When the new buds sprout in spring, these compounds and nutrients are concentrated in each of the new tea leaf buds. This is also why the first harvest tea leaves contain increased levels of beneficial amino acids like L-theanine. There are very few farmers in Kagoshima that use these strict methods without the use of any pesticides or chemicals. Each batch is also third party tested to ensure safety. This really is the best of the best ceremonial grade matcha! Wholesale cost per serving: $1.14. Retail cost per serving: $1.76
